From the day we opened Francesco's we have taken great pride in our food. We came from four generations of Italian chefs who were passionate about their cooking. We have tried to capture their passion and authenticity in the food we serve at our restaurant. Many of the items you see on our menu are prepared from recipes that have been handed down by our fathers and their fathers. Everything is fresh, nothing is frozen. Because tomatoes, olive oil and flour are the heart and soul of Italian cuisine, we import ours from Italy. Even our pizza crust is made with Italian virgin olive oil. Our Chef comes from a long line of chefs and is trained in authentic Italian cuisine. We hope you will enjoy your meal with us, and that you will come back often! View Less …

“The overall atmosphere was very cozy however.”
“Very little grease, crispy crust, and fresh ingredients on these oversized slices (stop me if I sound like a Papa Johns commercial).”
“They also have a full menu of traditional Italian food that is also really good.”
“If you're like me, and good food is important to you, there is only one place to enjoy excellent Italian food at reasonable prices, and that's Francesco Pizzeria.”
“The food is fresh, the service is prompt and friendly and the clientele, being people used to nothing but the best speak LEAGUES about the quality of this place.”
“Although the prices are a little high, the quality is great and portions are large.”
“definately recommend this place for anyone who wants to a quick, informal bit to eat.”View Less
Great place!.
I love this place. The staff is crazy!! I recently went there with a couple of girlfriends, and the chef came out and tried to forcefeed us wine! Of course, we weren't that opposed to the idea...
However, this chef was also a bit cheese crazy....
Then, he sang happy birthday to us, even though it was nobody's birthday...when we told him he had made a mistake, he yelled at the waiter.
The overall atmosphere was very cozy however...
I caught our dining experience on video, and posted it on Youtube:

The Best Pizza in New York City. If you're like me, and good food is important to you, there is only one place to enjoy excellent Italian food at reasonable prices, and that's Francesco Pizzeria. From my apartment, I actually have to pass three (3) pizza places before arriving at Francesco's. I've tried them all, but none of them compare to Francesco's Pizzeria. Francesco restaurant is not only a Great Pizza Place, but All of the food at Francesco Pizzeria is Delicious. I first walked into the Francesco Pizzeria approx. 5 years ago, thinking it was just another typical Pizzeria. I was wrong. For the past 5-years, I've been eating at Francesco Pizzeria an average of 3-4 times each week. The owner of Francesco Pizzeria, Vito, uses the finest ingredients, and you can really taste the difference. I've been to the best Italian restaurants in New York and I can tell you that nobody has better food than Francesco. The Lasagna, the Eggplant Parmigiana, and the Rigatoni Ripieni are all excellent. Everything tastes home-made. Enjoy, Ron Bergrin…
Best Pizza in the City. I love Francesco's Pizza. I grew up on the Upper West Side and have been coming here since I was a little kid. I've even had the chance to spot a couple celebs here eating which was pretty cool. The Pizza is amazing, love the crust. They also have a full menu of traditional Italian food that is also really good. I normally get the chicken parm and chicken picatta.…
